The Wanderer: A Newbery Honor Award Winner

Sharon Creech is one of my favorite YA authors. Her work is believable, leads you into the story rapidly and keeps you engaged until the end. The Wanderer is no exception. I loved it. I liked the fact that the book do adeptly wrote in two peoples stories or voices within the same experience....all of the characters were well developed with each of them having their own unique challenges and qualities.

A great book for a young kid. The book itself was in good shape.

We love this movie especially for kids

This book is utterly beautiful. The characters, the story, the settings, the adventure, everything about it is utterly fantastic. If you haven't read it already, please do. I promise you won't regret it.

This is a book that will touch your heart. As an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it. You will laugh and you will cry (or at least have some 'warm, fuzzy moments). Totally appropriate for upper primary and above. I'm not giving anything away, simply pick the book up and enjoy. Highly recommended.

At first I had low hopes(if that’s a thing) because it was a mandatory book but I ended up loving this book and couldn’t put it down I definitely suggest this book to anyone who loves or rarely reads

Walk Two Moons is a beloved book, but I am disappointed in The Wanderer. If I hadn't read Walk Two Moons, I probably would have enjoyed The Wanderer more than I did. Like Walk Two Moons, the storytelling is well done and the writing is solid. Sophie is an interesting character and the growth of her and her cousins is enjoyable. What I don't like about The Wanderer is that it is essentially the same story as Walk Two Moons -- a girl on the cusp of womanhood is taken into the protection of colorful relatives who allow her the space to discover the truth about her past and her parent(s). Like Walk Two Moons there is a grandparent who needs the love and support only our hero can supply. Like Walk Two Moons, there is the moment of harsh realization.If you can read only one of the two books, read Walk Two Moons.

I purchased this book for my 12 yr old daughter. She was given a list of summer reads, and we are so glad that she chose this one. My daughter loves to read, but she generally likes to pick her own books. She took this book everywhere with her. She was so excited to tell me about the characters. She is also recommending this book to her friends. Now I want to read it.

Yet to read but looks interesting and came highly recommended.

I got this for my daughter (age 11) to read, when she started reading it she said that it was the best book she`d ever read.

13 year old son enjoyed this book
